"This folio-sized book represents a departure from the usual run of O’Reilly products. Beautifully illustrated (in a very geeky sense) with full-color photos of cases, CPUs, water cooling systems, and more, Hardwidge’s book takes you on a journey into the world of building extreme PCs that I believe will actually be useful for anyone building their own PC.
